Hebrews 5:8
_ _ Though He WAS (so it ought to be translated: a positive admitted fact: not a mere supposition as were would imply) God’s divine Son (whence, even in His agony, He so lovingly and often cried, Father, Matthew 26:39), yet He learned His (so the Greek) obedience, not from His Sonship, but from His sufferings. As the Son, He was always obedient to the Father’s will; but the special obedience needed to qualify Him as our High Priest, He learned experimentally in practical suffering. Compare Philippians 2:6-8, “equal with God, but ... took upon Him the form of a servant, and became obedient unto death,” etc. He was obedient already before His passion, but He stooped to a still more humiliating and trying form of obedience then. The Greek adage is, “Pathemata mathemata,” “sufferings, disciplinings.” Praying and obeying, as in Christ’s case, ought to go hand in hand. |
Hebrews 5:8
Though he were a Son — This is interposed. lest any should be offended at all these instances of human weakness. In the garden, how frequently did he call God his Father! Matthew 26:39, &c. And hence it most evidently appears that his being the Son of God did not arise merely from his resurrection. Yet learned he — The word learned, premised to the word suffered, elegantly shows how willingly he learned. He learned obedience, when be began to suffer; when he applied himself to drink that cup: obedience in suffering and dying. |
Hebrews 5:8
Though he were a Son, yet (i) learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;
(i) He learned in deed what it is to have a Father, whom a man must obey. |
